+ | ====== Working with Storage ====== | ||
+ | |||
+ | To check storage space usage, type: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | # df -h | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | This utility will show a table explaining how much space has been used in your storage devices and partitions as well as how much is remaining. **-h** prints values in //human// format, for more details, see the man page: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | # man df | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | If you want to know how large a directory is, you can find out with //du//: | ||
+ | |||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | # du -sk /usr/pkg | ||
+ | </code> | ||
+ | |||
+ | The //-s// option asks for the sum or total space used. The //-k// option causes the result to be shown in kilobytes (instead of 512-byte blocks). | ||
+ | |||
+ | For more information, like other options (**-h** for example) please refer to the man page: | ||
+ | <code> | ||
+ | # man du | ||
+ | </code> | ||
